A pity. Good match, though. Jonesie unlucky with that draw, again. Cops No.1 seed, who was comprehensively beaten 63,62 and replaced, by a grass court specialist, who reached the final at Newport a few years ago. Good fight by Jonesie given his score-line compared to that of Brown. Amritraj served off his face at 75% and returned well, breaking Jonesie 4 times in the tie-break, all on first serves and then shutting him out in the third set, Jonesie breaking Amritraj to get his only game, but being denied a break by Amritraj on two other occasions and then dropping serve three times. A tad unlucky.
Hope his stomach strain injury has not reared itself again.
